Movies from 1932

A Farewell to Arms (1932)

80 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

Wow, considering this is a movie from 1932 a lot of people have a lot to say on it. From referencing this being the first Ernest Hemmingway novel to be adapted into a movie to the fact it comes before the Hays Code and subjec...

Border Devils (1932)

65 mins     Western      

"Border Devils" once again sees Harry Carey in a lead western role and once again sadly suffers because Carey has such a nice guy persona that it is hard to be convinced during moments or ruthlessness. And once again "Border ...

Carnival Boat (1932)

62 mins     Drama      

I would imagine like many the reason why I wanted to watch "Carnival Boat" is not so much the movie sounded entertaining but because it starred a young Ginger Rogers before she became the platinum blonde. And to be honest Gin...

The Cowboy Counsellor (1932)

92 mins     Western      

The Cowboy Counsellor (1932) Hoot Gibson stars as a travelling conman masquerading as a lawyer who ends up come to the aid of a man wrongly arrested for a robbery....

Exposure (1932)

71 mins     Drama      

"Exposure" is a curious little movie, a sort of slice of life behind the scenes of a newspaper movie. The first curious thing about it is that Lila Lee gets star billing but in truth Walter Byron is the star with the story re...

The Half Naked Truth (1932)

77 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"The Half Naked Truth" is one of those old comedies where it is easy to get caught up in the quick fire banter and finish the movie thinking what a fun 77 minutes that was. And there is nothing wrong with that but then if at ...

Hell's House (1932)

72 mins     Drama      

"Hell's House" sounds like an interesting movie; a young boy ends up in reform school when he keeps quiet for a bootlegger he idolises and discovers the brutal system in operation behind closed doors. It also sounds interesti...

Hidden Valley (1932)

57 mins     Western      

On one hand I could tell you that "Hidden Valley" is just a variation on that western staple where there is some hidden treasure and the good guy ends up wrongly charged with a murder and so has to escape to prove his innocen...

Lady Beware (1932)

69 mins     Comedy, Mystery, Thriller      

I have always had a liking for Ginger Rogers and it is the fact that Miss Rogers appears in "Lady Beware" which attracted me to watch. Unfortunately for me Miss Rogers is in it nowhere enough for my liking and the knock on ef...

The Lost Squadron (1932)

79 mins     Drama      

"The Lost Squadron" is a bit of a curious movie as whilst it starts at the end of WWI with almost a comedy scene as the pilots in one final dog fight keep going right up until 11 o'clock at which point they salute the enemy w...

Mason of the Mounted (1932)

58 mins     Western      

"Mason of the Mounted" is not my first old western and I thought I was prepared for whatever one of these old westerns could throw at me. But it seems I wasn't as whilst 58 minutes isn't long I would say 50 minutes of "Mason ...

The Night Rider (1932)

72 mins     Western      

I've mentioned it before but there are times when I wish I had been born earlier and as I watched "The Night Rider" I really wished I could have been a young boy back in 1932 who rushed to the picture house on a Saturday morn...

Pack Up Your Troubles (1932)

68 mins     Comedy      

Movie Review - Pack Up Your Troubles (1932) Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy are looking for Eddie's father to give him Eddie's Baby and causing chaos in doing so...

Penguin Pool Murder (1932)

70 mins     Comedy, Drama, Mystery      

Let's make this very simple "Penguin Pool Murder" starts in quite a typical 1930's crime movie style with the wife, the lover and the swindled businessman all having reason to have killed Mr. Parker. But after that standard s...

Rain (1932)

94 mins     Drama      

I wasn't born when "Rain" was released back in 1932 but from what I understand it was a flop, surprising in some ways because watching it now it is a good movie, unsurprising in others as it was a remake of a silent movie mad...

Texas Cyclone (1932)

63 mins     Western      

In my book John Wayne was the biggest western star of all time but there was a time when even The Duke wasn't the first name on the credits and "Texas Cyclone" is one of those times. Instead it is Tim McCoy and his ridiculous...

Two-Fisted Law (1932)

60 mins     Western      

"Two-Fisted Law" is billed as a John Wayne movie and to be honest I can understand why as whilst Wayne only has a supporting role it is his name which will attract people to watch far more than its star Tim McCoy. But this is...

Without Honor (1932)

66 mins     Western      

That short plot outline for "Without Honor" is pretty typical of 1930s westerns and I can think of half a dozen westerns which featured a man trying to track down who ever it was who killed a wife, father or brother. But in f...
